Nice - half day 200€
'Nissa la Bella' as the anthem goes.
And rightly so, judging by its popularity. From 'Carnival' in February until October's Indian summer, Nice is a clear favourite during the holiday season and even in winter, it has much to offer and is quieter.
Our private tours avoid the well trodden paths of the excursion buses to take a more interesting look at the city that never stops regenerating. A half-day visit enables you to appreciate Nice's multi-cultural influences as seen in its architecture, promenades, museums and galleries as well as its markets and gastronomy. Nice's cultural life is inseparable from the sense and flavours of the locality. And within 30 minutes you can journey into the neighbouring hills to meet local winemakers and indulge in a typical 'dégustation'.
Our private tours offer the opportunity to taste the true 'art de vivre à la niçoise'. So are you ready to go backstage ?
Provence / Gorges du Verdon - full day (9-10 hours) 700€
Are you looking for a complete change of scene away from the glitz and glamour of the coast ?
Take a day into the northern wilderness of 'Green Provence' through the biggest river canyon in Europe. The Verdon Gorge, offers breathtaking landscapes and a vast range of activities. Whether you want to scale its heights trekking to see the birds of prey among the cliffs or surrender to the call of the emerald water and dive into whitewater sports (kayaking, rafting), the sky is the limit.
Minutes away from the stream of entertainment is the beautiful amphitheatre shaped village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie for a timely lunch break.
In June and July, your inner artist will be unleashed by the wonderous sight of vast fields of lavender interwoven with golden corn on the Plateau of Valensole.
Shall we begin ?
Italy - full day 400€
Nice's proximity to the Italian border allows you to experience France's gregarious trans-Alpine neighbours. Take the advice of an astute Frenchman who regularly pops into Ventimiglia and San Remo to fill his hayloft with Italian specialities. You should plan a visit on market days, Tuesday, Friday or Saturday.
There are beautiful leather goods and great foodstuffs to treat yourself with, incredible parmegiano cheese, pesto sauce, parma ham etc... perhaps indulge in a capuccino or a delicious gelato for a taste of la dolce vita.
Once the shopping is done, continue your private tour of the Riviera dei Fiori, stopping at the picturesque communes of Bordighera and Dolceacqua for lunch at a family run restaurant. Or head into the hills to discover the mysterious self-proclaimed Principality of Seborga...
Extra hour extension before 8pm - 75€
